DISPLAY-STAND.

Application filed September 16, 1915.

To all 'N]t()7lt it may concern lie it known that I, him: A. FURDY, a. citizen of the United States of America, residing at \Vellington, in the county of Sumner and State of Kansas, have invented certain new and useful improvements in Display- Htands. of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the aceour panying drmvings.

This invention relates to improvements in stands for displaying piece goods and garments such as waists, skirts, coats and the like; and an object of this invention is to provide a. device of this character which will be simple in construction, comparatively cheap in n'ianufacture and eflicient, durable and convenient in operation and use.

In the drawings illustrating the principle of this invention and the best mode now known to me of applying that principle, Figure 1 is an elevation of my new display stand; Fig. 2 is a plan view of the body part thereof; Fig. 3 is a section on the line 33 of Fig. 2; Fig. 4 is a section on the line 4% of Fig. 2; and Fig. 5 is a section on the line 5 5 of Fig.

The body (1i is two-part. The part a is formed atits top with a pair of oppositelydisposed, inwardly-projecting ribs F), I), and at its bottom with a pair of similar ribs c, c. The part a of the body a is likewise formed at its top with a pair of op positely-disposed, inwardly-projecting ribs 5, b", and at its bottom with a similar pair of ribs 0, c". The inner edges 03 of the upper ribs b, b and the lower ribs 0, c, are hollow and are formed with substantially cylindrical guide-channels e. The inner edges d of the upper ribs 6, b, and the lower ribs 0, a, carry guide-rods e which fit slidingly in and are guided by the cylindrical guide-channels e. The parts a, a, of the body part a are formed with ribs 7, 7', respectively; the rib f carries a screw-threaded screw-threaded rod mounted, free to rotate, an interiorlythreaded sleeve h by the turnin of which the parts a, a, may be broug t togethe Specification of Letters Patent.

and moved from each other. as will be readily understood. On the sleeve 71. there is mounted a ring 2'. from which extends a. radial projection j that is formed with a socket ii: the inner wall of Which is screw-threaded. The ring if carries also a set-screw m the head of which is formed with a. socket w: the inner wall of the latter is likewise screw-threaded. By tightening the setscrew 112., the ring 1' may be held fast upon the sleeve it. An annular I'll) 0 on the sleeve It serves to limit the movement oi the ring i axially therealong. Into the threaded socket In, there is screwed one end of a rod 77 the other end of which is arranged to slide in a stand 1 having a base 4". By tightening the set-screw s, the slide-rod 77 may be fastened in adjusted position. Into the socket a. there may be screwed the lower end of a rod 25 on the upper end of which there is slidably fitted a T-post a. By tightening the set-screw a, the T- post "1/ may be fastened. in adjusted position.

By loosening the set-screw an, the sleeve h is made free to be turned within the ring 77 and thereby to more. apart from or toward each other the parts a, a, of the body a. It is obvious that these parts a, a", may be thus adjusted without in any way disturbing the rods 7?, t, or the parts Within which these rods slide. A piece of material can be draped over the T-post u and goods dropped on the inside of the form 0;, thereby making a unique display for use in salesrooms and the like. Of course, a waist and skirt may be displayed by means of my new stand, as may also a coat or the like.

The simplicity and fewness of parts of my display stand are noteworthy.

I claim:

1. A: display stand including a two-part form; threaded rods carried by the parts of the latter; a threaded sleeve which engages both of said rods; a ring fastened on said sleeve for turning the same; a boss that rod 9 and to the rib f there is fastened a fprojects from said ring; and a supporting 9; these rods g, g, are oppositely threaded and on them there is form; threaded rods carried by the parts of the latter; a threaded sleeve which both of said rods; a ring mounted on said stand that is rigidly fastened to said boss.

2. A display stand including a two-part engages sleeve; :1 f-istening device for securing said September, A. D. 1915, in the presence of ring to sand sleeve; a display device supthe two undersigned witnesses.

ported by said fastening device; and a stand MAX A. PURD Y. attached to said ring. Witnesses:
